The recent doxing of a Proud Boy school board candidate by the Midwest Youth Liberation Front highlights the work being done by teenage antifascists.

Article is from 2021, but I'd never heard of the "Youth Liberation Front" before.

he claimed that it’s not focused on establishing a white ethnostate, it’s “just based off of the Republican party platform..."

Oh, so it is focused on establishing a white ethnostate.

This is the guy they doxxed, btw. Good on them. The kids are alright.

Yeah, I laughed at that bit. Big "I am not a member of the National Socialist German Worker's Party" energy.

For anyone interested, this podcast miniseries from Robert Evans has a discussion of tactics and ethics from many of the folks who were the main organizers of the Portland protests in 2020. A large number of them are teenagers - to the point where they took steps to hid the kids' identities for the podcast. Not a direct tie to the folks from the article I would guess, but very similar group.

It was a very interesting series, and (unsurprisingly) paints a very different picture of what went on in Portland in 2020 than police and magas try to claim.

As with any such podcast miniseries, this is best listened to in release order.
